In her 1988 commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College, Toni Morrison urged graduates to use their imagination before making important decisions. A Nobel Prize-winning author known for her explorations of race, identity, and history, Morrison used her novels, including “Beloved” and “Song of Solomon,” to challenge societal norms and amplify marginalized voices. Her words remind us that true leadership isn’t just about strategy — it’s about vision, empathy, and the courage to not only consider what is possible, but also to work toward building a better world. By dreaming first, those in power can shape a brighter future for those who look to them for guidance. Morrison’s insight serves as a powerful reminder that leadership shapes lives — and that the best leaders lead with both their heads and their hearts.
